Amish communities near Pittsburgh

It’s little secret that Pennsylvania is home to many Amish–by accounts, having either the largest or second-largest Amish population of any state in the nation, at over 60,000 as of 2013 (see Young Center of Elizabethtown College Amish Studies website). While the bulk of that population–approximately half–is found in the Lancaster County community, 30,000 plus Amish live in over 50 other communities scattered across the state.

Amish have in fact settled heavily in the western half of Pennsylvania, with numerous communities lying within a 60-90 minute drive of the Steel City. We’ve listed a few of the largest below, with some helpful information about each (besides these, there are numerous smaller settlements within the same travel radius).

Larger Amish settlements tend to contain numerous small home-based businesses. Woodworking shops are among the more common. While many Amish craftsmen prefer selling exclusively on a wholesale basis, some do offer their product to the retail customer. Many also do custom-order work. For those who don’t mind leaving Pittsburgh and traveling to the Amish, visiting an Amish settlement can be an opportunity to locate a woodworker to contract with directly.

New Wilmington (Lawrence & Mercer County): The closest large Amish settlement to Pittsburgh, and the fourth-largest in the state (over 2,000 Amish live here). Lying about an hour’s drive north of Pittsburgh, this highly traditional community is home to numerous dairies as well as home enterprises. Amish here are more restrictive in technology used as compared to Amish in both Lancaster County and in other nearby settlements.

However there are numerous woodworking businesses in the New Wilmington settlement, producing home furniture, lawn furniture, doing furniture refinishing, building cabinets, crafting swings, gliders, porch swings, bent oak rockers, hickory chairs and rockers, and more. Simple signs and small outbuildings suggest the presence of Amish businesses in New Wilmington as in other Amish communities.

The Smicksburg Amish community lies around 70 min northeast of Pittsburgh

Smicksburg (Indiana & Armstrong County): Pennsylvania’s third-largest Amish community, with 20 congregations of over 2,500 Amish living in the area. The Smicksburg settlement is about an hour-and-a-half drive from Pittsburgh.

Somerset County: This settlement lying near the towns of Meyersdale and Springs, and partially in Garrett County, Maryland, is small, but noteworthy, as the second-oldest Amish settlement in existence, founded about a decade after Lancaster County in the 1770s. A community of 100-150 households.Pittsburgh photo: mazemet/flickr
